Sure it makes it easier to win, but I'm spitballing ways to make it still nice but actually be balanced. This setup shifts the balance toward laser spam and ion/beam setups, both of which are already some of the strongest setups in the game. They also make missiles even worse choices.

And? Missiles pretty much suck anyway. Forcing people to carry around parts they cannot use isn't very fun now is it?

Yes, but that's precisely the thing. If you have a whole bunch of drone parts stockpiled, it makes you more likely to consider purchasing a drone system, because you already have the drones to support it. Same goes for missiles stockpiled and missile weapons. The reason FTL devs didn't add the ability to sell resources--and this was on purpose--was to encourage the player to try different strategies.

That stockpile means nothing if you don't have a Drone Control System because you bought a Teleporter, Cloak and Mind Control (or had those already)

Also, what's 15 Drone Parts/Missiles going to do against the Flagship if you don't have the weapons/systems for them. Wish I could have sold them off to the war effort before venturing forth.
